How to open the Eye Chests in Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy is full of secrets and side quests that players can complete to get extra gold. One of the secrets is the Eye Chests that can be found around the castle. Each chest grants 500 gold, so here is how to open the Eye Chests in Hogwarts Legacy.

The Eye Chests are hidden in plain sight, and they reward you with 500 gold. This is a significant amount, especially at the beginning of the game when you are trying to get resources.  The Eye Chests in Hogwarts Legacy are difficult to recognize at first, but they are hidden all around the environment. The chests are white with gold details and one big eye in the center.

While the chests are easy to access, you cannot just open them. Approaching the Eye Chests will startle them and make any interaction impossible.

Spell to open Eyes Chests in Hogwarts Legacy

In order to safely approach the Eye Chests, you need the Disillusionment spent. You learn this spell on the Secrets of the Restricted Section quest, which is part of the main story. This is one of the early quests in the game.

The Disillusionment spell turns the player invisible, so you can approach the chest without being detected. Standing in front of the chest will prompt a command that allows you to open it. Keep in mind that you must activate the spell away from the chest. If you activate it too close to the chest, the command to open it won’t show up.
